This Jet Provost flew with the RAF from October 1969 until it was assigned to RAF Shawbury in September 1993 for storage. it then flew on the civilian register, As G-BVXT and G-JPVA, before retirement in November 2016. It is now preserved at EGSY between the Horizon Flight Training and Universities of Wales Air Squadron (UWAS) hangars (the latter is in the background). This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
